It was from one phone call. About 10 days ago, Fukunaga, a craftsman of the formal carpenter, was on site. The voice of Kenta Okumura trainer flowing from a mobile phone sounded like this. "Omisoka is talking about whether to take on the challenge from the Ioka side. What do you do?" He was surprised. When Ioka vs IBF champion Gelwin Ankahas (Philippines) was postponed due to the ban on the government's foreign entry into Omicron stocks, his friends said, "Is it going to come?" However, when Ioka, who was uploaded to SNS, was eating, he thought, "What is it?" He was confused for a moment for an unexpected development, but he doesn't know if this chance will come again. Originally, his match was decided on the 15th of New Year, so the adjustment has been advanced to some extent. He had decided his job at the end of the year, but that's not the reason for getting lost. On his way to his gym, he called his job orderer to explain the situation. He received a thankful answer in two replies, saying, "Create boxing now." He arrived at the gym and replied immediately to let him play. He took over his job to his colleagues who entered the scene on a substitute, and two days later, he entered one day of boxing. Morning training, running, afternoon. The sparring is about 50 rounds, and it is still finished at a rapid pace. "The weight is 3.5 kg remaining until the limit. I'm gradually getting better. I'm always going to the ring in the best." Good Ioka is the opponent. I am prepared for his harsh expectations. But, of course, we are not going to fight on the premise of defeat. "Ioka is a player like a boxer model. I was much more far away for me. But I think there is a chance. Is it 6-4 in myself? Of course, 6 is Ioka. However, at the age of 15, he worked as a carpenter. He said there was a time when he was young and slightly rough. Looking for a bloody place in his body, he entered a boxing gym at the age of 25. He was 27 years old who became a professional who didn't want to that. Eight years since then. He has once stopped. The third shrimp jewel gym is the third affiliation. His face was similar and Southpaw, so he got a catchphrase called Little Pacquiao, and in 2020 he got the first championship (WBO Asia Pacific). He boasted 15 wins and 14 KOs (4 losses), and recently he could see traces of growth in outboxing, but it was a boxing life far from the elite. He is already 35 years old. Even if you think that the work of a mold carpenter who requires advanced skills, physical strength, and concentration is important, the appointment in the Omisoka World War is definitely a chance to change your life as you say. One of the interviewers said. This chance given, "It's like a movie" Rocky "." After Fukunaga expressed a little expression, "I'm sorry. I haven't seen it. And Rocky will lose." If he wins and becomes a new hero, he will surely be a popular person. "Like a challenger, I will go pounding from the beginning." If Fukunaga can fight as declared, the game will be heated. And how do Ioka, a skilled master, bother the challenger? When that happens, you can foresee the fun of a puzzle game. The decisive battle on December 31 is finally looking forward to it.
